Brings this one to mind

Yours is better tho

Eh, I think you'll be fine.

Everyone else, though? Eeeeeeeeeeh.

But overall? He's totally right. Dialects have their own rules, and they're RIGHT for the dialect. And that people that use a dialect AND speak the "base" have a larger vocabulary. Anyway, here he is, teaching:

I loved his point that, yes, so many hear this dialect and judge poorly based on racism. But that you can't win someone over by making them feel evil, so educating them is what linguists are trying to do. His explanation of how English used to be Olde English, and how different it is was cool AF 4/

Spanish has so many dialects, but all of them are considered "valid." Same with Arabic and Italian. And in the UK, there are SO MANY DIALECTS, and Americans can't understand some of them. But it's all English. It's all correct. 3/

I'm sitting here like, "Umm... duh." But then I had to realize that... Probably 65+% of the students there haven't even thought about it. It blew my mind. People need to be taught that a dialect isn't "improper" in this country because American English is their only language. 2/

4. The EARS. The original artist for the model misunderstood what I meant when I said I wanted "double pointed" ears, and they gave Minx two feline ears instead. And I love them. @kirumiko.vtubers.social, who did my 2.0, brought them to life in such an amazing way. I love them so much!

3. I like to write stories and do art. Rarely do those two things intersect my streams.

2. I started on Jan 21, 2022, and I have been having a great time with it!

1. My husband suggested it for stress and depression management after showing me Cimrai and Zentreya. I realized that I could just be myself, and I loved it right away.
